Summary
In this story, listeners will discover the solutions to several Sherlockian mysteries. Why are there so few cases from the middle 1880s? Why did such a ladies' man as John H. Watson wait so long to take himself a wife? What about those puzzling canonical references to a wife who can't be Mary Morstan?
Travel with the doctor to America, where you'll meet the beautiful young woman who preceded Mary, Watson's “black sheep” brother Henry, and characters who figure in such cases as The Blue Carbuncle and The Five Orange Pips. Here is a literally haunting tale that Publishers Weekly called a “standout.”
This is the 13th story from The Art of Sherlock Holmes project that first appeared in The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, Part VII.

Doctor Watson I Presume.
This is a good short story in which we learn quite a lot about Doctor John Watson, 3 times married and on his own admission not the best of husbands. Keith Spilsbury's narration is excellent and brings the whole story to life. Highly recommended for all Holmes fans although Sherlock himself plays no part really in this one.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and voluntarily leave this honest review.

Learning more about Watson’s early life in America and with his first wife
I loved the detailed story line, the linking to history and the friendship between Watson and Holmes.
